Aull to Meet Next * Saturday?Trustees and Teachers 1 Urged to Attend. l The teachers of Newberry county 1 are requested to meet in the high school building at Newberry on Saturday, November 2, at 11 o'clock, for the i purpose of organizing the county! 1 teachers' association, and to discuss 1 matters pertaining to the profession. ( Prof. S. J. Derrick, of Newberry col- * lege, has consented to make a talk to the teachers at this time, and those who have heard Prof. Derrick know I that his talk will be along practical | I lines and of benefit to the teachers in < their work, and we can assure those c who have not heard him that they will t be well repaid for the time spent at v tho meeting of the- association. I de- * i sire that every teacher in the county j 1 who can possibly do so will attend this j i meeting, so that we may all become 1 acquainted and in that way be in bet- J tfr position to do the work which we have undertaken, f feel that it is just J as important that the teachers should j < attend the county teachers' meetings 1 and spend one hour together, discuss- 1 ing modes of teaching and plans of ) government, as it is that they should toadi in the schools, for in this way; they become better equipped for their work. 1 Following the plan pursued in the! spring, invitation is also extended to the trustees to attend the teachers'!: meeting, and to take part in tne ais-p cussions, and to make any suggestionsj that may occur to them for the bet-j terment of the schools. The trustee's! position, if he properly appreciates it, is one of great responsibility. The great problem before the American people today is the rural school, and we can never improve conditions, or better the school facilities until we j wake up the people and get them to realize the importance of this prob- j em. This invitation tOvthe t-achers! and trustees iuclud^i theVity school-; and high schools and thtj^fc^t'.-cs o:'j INSTALLATION SERVICES. The Presbyterian Pastor Installed at Avelei#h Presbyterian Church. Interesting Exercises. The Rev. E. D. Kerr was formally installed pastor of Aveleigh Presbyterian church $unday morning, October 27, under appointment of South Carolina Presbytery. The exercises were intt&roc.HnP'- anH imnrpssivp and warp fully enjoyed by the large congregation present, many visitors being in the auditorium. The Presbyterian polity requires that when a pastor has been called be shall be installed according to the Book of Church Order, which calls for a sermon appointed by Presbytery, a charge to the pastor and a charge to the congregation. The sermon in question was delivered by Rev. W. H. Hamilton, of Ninety Six, who took as his text Romans 5:11. It was a gospel message, pregnant with truth and encouragement to the believer in his search after the mind of God in His relationship to his creatures. It I was a timely message and will doubt- \ i less'bring forth fruit in the consciences J of his hearers. The subject was intro-: duced by setting forth Paul's exposi- j tion of the- doctrine of justification by faith that man is a helpless creature I in sin without Jesus Christ. But with faith in Christ he is a saved man and accounted as righteous only for the | righteousness of Christ imputed and i received by faith. The sneaker then I passed into the discussion of the rc , suit of justification. Spoke at this juncture of peace. 1. Peace for reconciliation. i 2. Hope of sharing in the glory oi j God. 3. Rejoicing in God himself. The summing up was the presenta- j tion of Christ as. the medium of all ^ 3les6ings. The charge to the congregation was j Liniaue and impressive, and was deliv- i sred by Mr. Law Blake, a ruling elder 3f the First Presbyterian church, Greenwood, S. C. It was based on the LOth chapter of John, and the 10th chapter of Acts, wherein was emplfazed the importance of readiness to iear the word that God spoke through j 3ie messenger. Space does not permit! implication of the address, and it is sufficient to say it was practical and ;lear, sound in doctrine and earnest n dflliiraMri/io Tf orrootlv OnlAVOfi I A* ? Ci A'U " U-Q 5* ^/U.V1J ^iij j VV*. I The exercises were brought to a fit- j ;ing close by the charge to the pastor, which was made by Rev. T. C. Croker, )f Smyrna church, in this county. Mr. broker showed a fine familiarity with lis subject and comprehensive grasp withal. Full of energy and fire, deeply ipiritual and forceful, it was a message that sank deep into the hearts >f the waiting and expectant congregation. The Rev. Mr. Croker force- j iully enjoined in his charge to the Dastor, to work with God and to count ? X Jj. I lothmg success or ianure excepi as uj svould be in the eyes of God. A striking statement from the speaker, is given verbatim because of its renchant meaning. "Your most brilliant success, if it 3e without God, is a mortifying fail-! ire; and your most dismal failure, if it >e with God, is a glorious success." Thus- ended a beautiful Christian service establishing a relationship as paster and peoples -which we hope will 3e marked always by mutual confi lence and helpfulness and redound to ;he honor of the Master. SO Days for One Pair Shoes. Odell Suber was charged $1"> fcr a I )air of shoizs. High price for a pair ; )f shoes, and Suber didn't pay it.

The association will meet promptly at 11 o'clock and we will not detain you more than one hour.

A. i?, ( ANMNG AND POULTRY CLl'IJ. Anxious to Organize flub i . Newberry. Will the People of the County Cooperate. Mr. S. M. Duncan, county demonstration agent for Newberry county, has been in correspondence with Miss Edith L. Parrott, who has been made State agent for the girls' canning and poultry club movement in South Carolina, with headquarters at Winthrop college, with a view of having her come to Newberry and organize this county. Mr Duncan has the cooperation of the county superintendent of education, and they hope to have the cooperation of the people of Newberry county in i inaugurating this work in the county, i Miss Parrott is a graduate of Win- j throp college and has done post-grad- I uate work at "Teachers college" Co-' lumbia university, in home economics. The purpose of work is the- better preparation of young women for homemaking, as well as fcr school teaching, j and Miss Parrott has the endorsement I of Winthrop college, which is very i much interested in every movement of j this kind. President Johnson has is- j enpri a lotfpr tn thp rinncrhtprs Of Win-! throp, asking their cooperation with Miss Parrott. She writes Mr. Duncan that kce will be very glad to come over to Newberry at the next meeting of the teachers' association, but it will j scarcely be necessary for her to come; unless Mr. Duncan and Mr. Aull can assure her of the cooperation of the people of the county in this work. By cooperation is m-eant that in order to carry on the work it will be necessary to have from $200 to $400, and the only way this money can be secured is by * 1 a? i-*- m"U:? _ A voluntary coiunuuuous. ims is a>. matter which might very well be taken up by the chamber of commerce, as it represents: the entire county. It is a Vary important work, and if properly carried on would mean a great deal for the betterment of the homes of Newberry county. Several of the counties of the State have engaged in the work and Newberry should not fall behind in any progressive movement.

Copy to be Placed in Each School Library in the Connty?Books >'ow on Hanu Upon the recommendation of the county board of education, and with the approval of the State, superintendent of education, County Superintendent E. H. Aull has purchased 60 copies ? - * f ViI or me An 11 a is ui utri i j, a,t iuw? price of $1.00 per copy, these books to j be given one- to each rural school li- j brary in Newberry county. At present there are not that many libraries, but while the books could be purchased j at this nominal price, it was thought! advisable to purchase them and as libraries are established to give a copy to each. Th>?' money is drawn from the dispensary school fund. There are only a few copies of this book extant,! as only a limited number was printed 20 years ago, and it will be a valuable addition to have in the school libraries in the county. There are 59 school; districts a.d one copy was purchased! for each district, leaving one for the; office of rbe superintendent. If the' trustees of the schools in which li-; braries ar,s- already established will i call upon the county superintendent of j education, a copy cf this book may be j obtained to be placed in the library of ! the school. It is a valuable reference book and it. is very important that the ; children of the county should familiarize themselves with the history of the county. VARDAMAN CALLS 0> R LEASE. !

Hunter. Mr. W. M. Hunter died at his country home last Monday, after a few days' illces with hemorrhettic fever, in his 65th year. A few days prior to his death he was apparently enjoying the best of health. Deceased was one of our most prominent and well to do farmers, and a man who was generally liked by all with whom he was acquainted. He leaves a devoted wife and four sons to mourn his death. The funeral services were conducted at Bethel church cemetery Thursday morning at 10 o'clock in the presence of a large gathering of sorrowing relatives and friends. Rev. E. J. Gates of this city officiating. The pall-hearers were selected from among the old Confederate Veteran's reunion in session in this city, as follows: R. T. Davis, R. A. Staples, W. Z. Bailey, H. F. Barwick, F. B. Taylor and T. J. Summerrall. ?? October 26, 1912. j Editor of Herald and News, Newberry, S. C. Dear Sir: I am enclosing you a clipping from the Lake City, Florida, Citizen-Reporter, of date of October 25. This clipping will explain itself. William M. Hunter was a son of John Hunter, who moved from Newberry county to Florida prior to the late War Between the States. The late deceased lias Hictliy i ciciLirco <xuu luciiua i coaling in your county, and for this reason I will thank you to make such note of this matter, in your paper, as you feel that it deserves. The local paper has not given the death of Mr. Hunter the notice that a man of his prominence deserved, but I have excused the matter upon the ground that the Confederate veterans of Florida w-ere in. session in our city at the time of Mr, Hunter's death, and the paper has devoted most of its space to a report of this convention. Mr. Hunter was a well-to-do farmer, having a splendid plantation of several hundred acres of some of the best farming lands in this county. He had filled many positions or trust, nonor and confidence in his county. He had been a member of the board of education of Columbia county for many years, and had rendered efficient service in this office. lie was a man of fine character, in fact, he was a good man. He always had a kind word and a smile for all. His was a hand of * * 1 i. 3 | cnaritv tnat was aiwa^s ^Ateuura wj those in need. No man ^ouid be hie enemy, because he was a man of lovable traits cf character that would overcome enmity. Those who did not asree with him upon questions of public importance, nevertheless respected his views. His life was one of usefulness in his church, in his home, in his community, in his county ai'd in his Srate. i r litiuo ofnna s'Miidvvhaf intn flpfai's in order that you might have facts up- ; on which to base a true sketch of the life and character of this deceased.
